    He ain’t sitting with Harden and Paul at the special cornerstone lunch table.

    We need to peak at the right time and have health. All the role players need to step up (think Carl Herrera). If he is healthy he can definitely contribute

    He’s washed, which is why he was traded to the Kings in the first place.

    But those luxury tax savings - amazing!

    lol no he looks like junk. You guys can stay in denial all you want about House's potential, but Shumpert is definitely not the key...

    He looks like a chimney, or a tree, if you’re high

    He is garbage.

    His defense isnt what it used to be and Warriors will gladly leave him open to brick 3s.

    It was a bummer of a move before the trade deadline.

    Imagine if we had actually got a high impact player to add to this roster.

    he doesnt fit in this system. he isnt a stand still spot up shooter.

    He's shooting 37.6% on catch and shoot 3s this year.

    Look, his shooting has been off so far, and he hasn't looked good. But he shot .366 for the Kings and .360 in his last healthy Cavs year. It's serviceable. I think we can expect him to be to shoot in that range, he's just started off in a cold spell. There's clearly enough of a sample size to show he's a better shooter than this.

    His defense will be what decides whether he stays in a playoff rotation. Given he hasn't been healthy I'm optimistic he will be better.

    I feel like it's been a while since someone started a thread and ended their post with "discuss." Proud of you OP.

    He’s been washed.. hoping he can get on a “hot streak” and actually hit a shot and contribute a few mins to relieve the others in the playoffs.

    Before all is said and done, Iman will play a key role on our way to a title.

    small sample size and all, i think House is better.

    that being said, I think we need to start Shump OR Clark at the 3. It creates a much more balanced rotation for us and allows Gordon to get more shots up.

    This narrative is fake and stupid. They used the picks to get rid of Chriss and knight. Which is absolutely necessary.
